If Engine Fails To Start

WARNING!
• Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
WARNING! (Continued)
• Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this way. Unburned fuel could enter the
catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the con-
verter and vehicle.
• If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a start
from a booster battery or the battery in an-
other vehicle. This type of start can be dan-
gerous if done improperly. Refer to "Jump-
Starting Procedures" in "What To Do In
Emergencies" for further information.

2. Press the accelerator pedal all the way to the
